Gift To Myself

My four year old daughter is with her grandma attending another kid's birthday party.

My husband is off to a tennis class. Thank God for a livelihood today. At least one of us is earning.

A family day without my family around.

I've been browsing the net here in the quarters hoping that I get to have an idea for my research which is long overdue already. However, I still have nothing. I was able to do other kinds of research on the internet.

I wanted to do a series of podcasts of my own and the moment I get to have a chance, I'm going to write articles for this podcast idea. One idea should be supported by so many.

Let's see. Well, I wanted to give myself something. And I came up with something else to do besides think about my God-forsaken research. (Lord, please send help).

Husband woke up at five this morning and as routine, I also get up from bed. After realising that it was a Saturday and I don't have to get up from work, I instantly am wide awake. Hugged my husband before making my own cup of coffee. He has to go to work so early even if it was raining outside.

After getting ready, before getting out of the door, he sent a text message to his client Ryan who was scheduled for a 6am tennis game. There was no reply. He tried calling but phone cannot be reached. He was not getting out of the house until he gets a reply. He also called the activity center office to ask if the tennis courts were reserved for a certain company and found out that it was booked the whole morning. And so, 6am class was not possible.

Ryan finally sent a response saying that it's okay to move the class at 1pm instead of 6am.

Hours after, Ryan and two more tennis players cancelled because of the weather.

I've been addicted to this game for years now. And I made my husband addicted to it too. However, there was a time when we had given up on it. I was busy with the training and I'd rather sleep in my free time and he basically found a newer game he'd wanted to try.

At that time, there was no clan wars. We aimed for the town hall level 10 because we wanted to freely upgrade everything. We didn't know that eventually, people will tell us that we had some kind of "T.H. Rush".

And now, two years after I decided to delete the app from the iPad, I downloaded it to the phone to see what the fuss was all about.

I joined a clan again just to be kicked out minutes later after they found out that I was in my late 30's already. Saying that I was old before actually kicking me out.

The next clan I joined ended up the same way with me getting kicked out because according to them, I was just looting to which I beg to differ. I didn't know that I had to att…
